None of those artists are mainstream artists or POP stars. Sly Family Stone just had an unsung episode which primarily focuses on black artists who were popular that never really crossed over. Neither as Funkadelic and the rest of the artists mentioned are not POP or heavily acknowledged by the music industry.... So what is your definition of underrated? |

None of those artists have any grammys or any awards by the mass industry and currently they are very underrated. Mint Condition has been in the industry for over 20 years now and they are an R&B band that writes and composes their own music they dont get any awards. D Angelo experienced some moderate commercial success in the mid 90s but currently he is not mainstream or wins alot of awards. He was one of the most influential artists of the 90s that started the neo soul movement. Sly Family Stone NEVER gets the credit they deserve from the mass industry. Yes, they are legends but they never get their due for what they have done likewise with Funkadelic but then their are bands like The Beatles that are way overrated in comparision. Krs One doesnt get NO credit and he is one of the greatest MCEE's of all time. Jack White is one of the most talented artists that has came out of the last 15 years and he never gets any credit as a solo artist An artist can have some moderate commercial success and still be underrated. None of these artists are what I would considered to be mainstream.... they all have not experienced any commercial success in YEARS. |

Thats with his band "The White Stripes" but as a solo artist he is very underrated. He has written and composed alot of music for other artists as well as for himself that goes unappreciated by the mass industry. |

I wouldn't say that analogy is the same as saying "all beers are hot" when you don't have knowledge about every other beer. Granted I have said Nu-Metal isn't a genre I had a taste for but I didn't say it goes for all bands, and actually pointed out specific ones based on. (I'm actually a fan of one, and it was regardless of the genre, so my statement was pretty idiotic). I just don't think the statement was fair to slander every other band in effect that came out of nowhere.

I agree with Neapolitan... Quote:
* * * Recently I have been thinking how many Beatles songs sound unmelodious and irritating to me (their later rambling songs), or overly simplistic and annoying (many of their earlier pop songs). For every song by The Beatles that I love, there are nine that I despise or dislike. Many Beatles songs don't move me at all and sometimes it seems as if some of the music they made was only popular or given attention because it was by The Beatles, but not because the the songs themselves were so fanastic. Had a less famous band made much of their music, I think it would have been forgotten long ago. So, I've been thinking that The Beatles are over-rated by music historians...perhaps because music buffs tend to be older and value bands that were once popular when they were young? Or maybe music critics got swept up by the hype over the Beatles, and it made them think much of the music was more appealing or interesting than it really was? I don't think that many of the Beatles songs will be remembered or listened to in a couple generations. In fact, here's an article that says many teens now don't know who The Beatles are...and this, just 50 years after they were so popular! Video: Teenagers Don't Know Who The Beatles Are: Gothamist Beatles Fan Club 2011 - YouTube! And here's a fun story about how many kids using Twitter couldn't recognize who Paul McCartney was during his Grammy appearance: People On Twitter Ask Who Is Paul McCartney During Grammys | Happy Place Also over-rated: Lady Gaga I like one and a half songs by her (of those I've heard). Today on the radio I heard "Poker Face" (a song that I half-dislike) and I really listened for the first time to her "rap" section in this song. And I thought, this isn't very good rap! Lyrics: "I won't tell you that I love you Kiss or hug you Cause I'm bluffin' with my muffin I'm not lying I'm just stunnin' with my love-glue-gunning Just like a chick in the casino" It sounds like she's singing about a chicken!  Unless she *wants* to be singing about a chicken, she should have scanned her lyrics to eliminate unintended meanings. And "I'm bluffin' with my muffin" sounds like something I'd expect from The Black Eyed Peas. Blech. Which reminds me...Definitely over-rated: The Black Eyed Peas. The first song I ever heard by them, I loathed it. The second song was no better. I hate every song by them that I've ever heard. And I mean despise. So I am shocked when I see their music videos getting 130 million views (unless the viewers are people like me who are listening just to try to figure out why the song has 130 million views  ). I agree with wisdom's opinion of The Black Eyed Peas (expressed eloquently elsewhere on MusicBanter.)Horror song: "Boom Boom Pow" Makes me want to annihilate the planet, boom boom!

) and someone is asked which one is warmer the one on the left or the one on the right. The person said the one on the left. Would it be right if people were to estraplate what the guy really said was that it was hot? Saying something like "one beer is warmer than another" isn't the same as "that beer is hot."
